Israel: 'Secret memo' eyes a new foreign policy - Adnk
Tel Aviv, 7 October (AKI) - An alleged secret memorandum drawn up by Israel's foreign ministry and obtained by an Israeli daily says the Jewish state will move away from "lone dependence" on the United States as a strategic ally and will instead refocus its policy towards the developing world. Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman intends to discuss with senior ministry officials the implementation of the five-page document, according to sources quoted by Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post - which obtained a copy of the memo. "For decades, Israel has neglected entire regions and continents, including Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and Central and Southeast Asia. The cost of this neglect has been immense, and has been evident at the UN and other international forums," said the memo, quoted by The Jerusalem Post.

Refaeli presents herself everywhere as an Israeli, and even expressed her support for Livni on the eve of the elections. The enormous international exposure she enjoys raises the question of whether she helps Israel's public-relations campaign abroad, and whether her photos on the beach soften the hard images of the war in the Gaza Strip.

A propaganda war is being waged on the internet between supporters of the Israeli and Palestinian sides in the current conflict in the Gaza Strip. The hacking of security barriers for political or ideological reasons has been branded by some as hacktivism. And it is thought that as use of the internet grows, so too will the number of attacks.

One such flyer, an image of which was sent to The Electronic Intifada, seeks to recruit Palestinian collaborators. Signed by the “Israel Defense Forces command,” and addressed to the “the residents of the Gaza Strip,” the flyer states: “You hold the responsibility for your own fate!”
